Hunter
An impish glee was settling inside me as I packed Blue's things from my older room where she stayed for the entire week. I was happy because I was finally bringing her back where she belonged. With me.
The entire time that I packed her things, she hadn't said a word to me. Just remained by my side, helping me pack her bag. I didn't miss how she kept sneaking glances at me and when I smiled at her she would just look away.
Strange.
I tried not to feel wounded with the fact that I had said I loved her and she hadn't said that she loved me back. Then again, what had I expected? If it was going to remain a one-sided unrequited love, so be it. I was going to love her nevertheless. It wasn't every da
HunterLeslie jumped on Blue as soon as we stepped through the threshold. He was so happy to see her, he literally couldn't stop going around in circles and then sprawled on the floor for belly-rubs."You're such a good boy." Blue cooed. "I missed you too, Les."Leslie was indeed a lucky dog. Any man would be more than happy to have Leslie's place just for an hour. She hugged the little traitor close, burying her nose in his fur."I'm so glad to be back." She whispered."Yeah, me too. I missed you, Blue." I said, "I thought I was doing the right thing by sending you away but I was obviously wrong. I shouldn't have—"
Hunter Blue had been upset for the next few days and I didn't understand the reason why. Normally, she was very cheerful, talker non-stop, made me laugh and constantly asked me to strip from down below so she could see what all the fuss was about. But since the time that she'd been back from Hannah's she'd remained aloof. I asked her a question, and her head was often in the clouds.This was very unlike her.And now her behavior was bothering me because it continued on for another week. When Blue asked me one afternoon if she could hang out with Hannah, I said yes. I didn't understand why she needed permission from me to go with my sister, and the same evening she said Alec invited her to go to the movies with him.
Hunter What's a virgin?"I started to think of a less explicit way that I could explain to Blue what being a virgin meant. Her large bright blue eyes stared at me in what appeared to be sheer fascination and curiosity. She was waiting for an answer. My word could be law."Well, a person who has never had sex in their life is usually a virgin," I explained.Blue continued to stare at me, and that was making me nervous. "What's sex?"I blew out a breath and maybe I was starting to sweat a little. "When a man and a woman go to bed naked...they do things to each other.""Bad things?"
BlueHunter woke me up a little earlier than usual the next day, and he appeared to be a little worried. It seemed like Hunter's family had a tradition to spend one afternoon for lunch together at the family table every year, and this time, his father and step-mother wanted me to be there with him.Honestly, I didn't understand what the big deal was about. I was going to meet Hunter's parents, and I couldn't have been happier. I'd always wondered what his father looked like if Hunter was a splitting image of his father, what kind of a man he was. I wanted to know everything about his family. Every little detail about him.The first day that I'd stepped into the human world by accident, and met Hunter, I'd been scared of him, and I'd been eager to go back into the
Hunter Elaine, my step-mom led us to the table where the rest of my family had gathered. Ryan, Hannah, Dad, Aunt Paige who was dad's younger sister, her annoying bratty six-year-old son Elliot and I did a double-take when I saw Will, my cousin seated beside Hannah. His father, my uncle who worked as a cop wasn't at the table so that meant dad and him were still cross, so as not to turn down the lunch invite he'd sent Will on his own. And I was glad he'd come alone for the lunch gathering.I leaned into Blue's ear and whispered, "I'm going to sit beside you at the table. My family will probably ask you some questions. I'll tap your knee under the table if you say something that you shouldn't, okay?"I noticed how Elaine was watching us with utter adoration, thinking I
HunterWhen Blue and I returned to the lunch table, we acted like we hadn't tried to eat each other by the fountain area just a moment ago. Instead, I picked up my mini-pizza and took a large bite off it, and reached out to get the Tuna Greek salad wrap. Elaine and dad knew what had happened of course; their faces told me they weren't oblivious. If anything, they appeared to be content with this new development, i.e: me getting serious with a woman in my life. The mermaid part, they didn't need to know.I noticed Elaine's plate filled with her usual vegan food. Not that I hated vegan food, it's just that I couldn't make a habit of eating it to save my life."Blue and Hunter were swapping saliva out there. I saw you." Elliot spoke to me with a mouthful of sausages.
BlueSunlight was streaming out of the curtains when I woke up the next morning, and my legs were tangled between Hunter's. I caressed his leg with mine, loving the feel of the soft hair on it. It was so wonderful, a man's body, so completely different and I was shocked how much I craved to be touched by his large masculine hands.I pulled the comforter away to marvel his bareback and noticed his boxer briefs having a tent that he called morning wood. The more he wanted to hide it, the more I wanted to see it. Hunter was fast asleep; would it be inappropriate if I slid my hand under the waistband of his boxers?I decided I couldn't risk doing it. I didn't want to see Hunter get furious and maybe just pack my bags and drop me back at Hannah's. I just needed to find out
BlueThis wasn't a dream. Adrian was right here in front of me. If it had been the Blue who'd left the underwater world, I would be running into his arms, thanking the gods for sending Adrian to recuse me from here. Right now, going back home was the last thing on my mind.In the course of three months, everything had changed.And for the better.He looked the same as I remembered, but he was wearing human clothes and his blonde hair reached his shoulders. He didn't have a smile on his face like he usually did, and I couldn't blame him for that. I'd left him and the others without saying a word; I hadn't even expressed my desire to not marry him. How it must have felt, to think that you'd marry your best friend all yo
HunterI pushed my back against the rock, pressing her breasts to my chest. Her hands were tangled into my hair, her lips insistent over mine. Things were steering below and I was already rock hard.Suddenly Blue sat up and began loosening the knot on her nightgown.“Sweetheart, we’re in the open.” I pointed out to her.“There’s no one here, and the kids are asleep. They won’t come outside.” She whispered.“Blue we should...” I began protesting but it was too late.She’d stripped off her nightie, and I watched mesmerized as her round breasts jiggled free. She was completely naked, with no underwear. I swore under my breath. She smiled mischievously at me, pushing her blue hair away from her face, and came to straddle on my lap.You would be fucking stupid to tell your beautiful wife to stop stripping.Blue began stroking herself against the fabric that
HUNTER “Give that back to me!”“It’s mine! Let it go! Daddy gave me that doll!”“It’s not yours, Freya!” Artemis screeched at the top of her lungs, as usual. She loved testing her vocal cords three sixty-five days. My girl could have been an opera singer.“You’re a liar!” Freya screamed back. “Moooommmyyyy!!!”Blue looked at the girls, then turned her attention towards the front and increased the volume of the stereo. “Such a nice song this is.”“You’re going to break the doll!” Freya screamed. “Daddy, tell her it’s mine.”Blue turned the notch up of the volume until the car was vibrating with the ear-splitting sound. “I love this song.” She smiled at me, humming as if the two girls in the backseat weren’t wrestling and yanking at each other's hair.Fights between Arte
Please note* The first half of this chapter is a prequel of the events that took place in the book. * * * Blue I often swam to the shore late at nights when I knew no humans were going to be there. I liked to sit by the rocks and stare at the stars in the sky. Sometimes, I liked to roll in the sand and collect sea-shells to make necklaces and today was no different.When the lights in the beach houses went out, I swam to the shore towards my favorite spot on the rocks. I made sure no human was there just like my brother Apollo told me to and sat down on the nearest rock. Apollo was my most favorite out of all my other siblings because he understood me on a different level. While I sneaked on the beach some nights, Apollo would cover for me and tell everyone that I was meeting my friend Oceana. If it weren’t for him, my family would never allow me this alone time on the beach under the st
Three Years LaterHunterI never thought it was possible for a man to have so much happiness in life, and I definitely didn't think it could be me.Three years ago when Blue went into labor, I'd panicked because it was nothing like I'd ever witnessed or imagined. The pain that she was going through seemed unbearable and I spent the rest of the time cursing myself and swearing to never get my dick anywhere near her. I regretted even getting her pregnant.I could still remember how before being wheeled into the hospital room, she'd assured me everything would be okay with a confident smile on her face and for a minute there I thought I wouldn't see her smiling.
HunterI pressed my lips to hers; I angled Blue's face in such a way that I could properly kiss her. Devour her mouth, I did. Seconds later she was moaning and squirming under my onslaught. Kissing her was hard since her bulging stomach came between us.My tongue ran a path from her ear down to her collarbone. She closed her eyes, sighing as I licked and nibbled her.I held her face leveled with mine, "You." I breathed. "You tortured me for months just because you were scared that something would happen to me again? Well, guess what? That's life and you can't do anything about it.""I'm sorry...Hunter..." her voice seemed pained and before she could mumble more apologizes I brought her mouth down to mine again, drinki
Blue "Be honest with me, Blue. What is our future together?" Adrian asked me a few days after I'd met Hunter in the supermarket.I was stirring a pot; preparing stew for dinner when his question caught me off-guard. I looked straight at him. "What do you mean our future?"Adrian's emerald eyes cut through me, and there was a smug expression plastered on his face which I hated. "How long are we going to play house? Aren't you going to...what do the humans call it...ah, yes, divorce your husband?"I shot him a look. "I would never divorce Hunter. I thought I told you that before and as far as our future is concerned, we've always been friends and that will continue to be."
HunterI had never experienced what a real heartbreak felt like until now; the heartache, it was unbearable. Blue had literally reached inside my chest, ripped out my heart and crushed it with bare hands.I almost regretted going after her like that. I should have just let it go. She had clearly told me she didn't want me, what else did I need to prove?I literally drove around without paying attention to where I was going. Instead of going to my house, I drove to my father's because I didn't trust myself to be alone at that moment. I was desperate and my toxic imagination was driving me insane.I parked the car in the parking space and cut the engine.I clenched and
Blue Hunter held out the box of Cereal towards me but I continued to stare at him. He looked much more built than before, his shoulders were broad and I could see the hard outline of his chest as it rose and fell. His golden-brown hair used to be shorter, the curls had grown out of control and he had a bit of stubble.My stomach took a flight of butterflies and I felt like my legs were going to give up.I missed him. So much."I won't hurt you." He assured me. "I just want to talk."And I couldn't believe that he was telling me the truth. Contrary to what he'd said, Hunter seemed to have every intention of hurting me.
Hunter Days turned to weeks. And I'd spent about two months looking like a mess. Painting and selling them to interested clients, I was also doing commissioned work. If I wasn't painting, I was nursing a bottle of Jack Daniels. Lately, Jack had become best friends with me; he helped numb the confusion and the pain.It was sad, almost too funny the irony that my mother hadn't wanted me even before I was out of her womb, and my wife had clearly deserted me for reasons that I was still searching for to this day. Not that I had any mommy issues, but it was a no-brainer that I was basically unwanted.It was pathetic. My life as I was living right now, feeling sorry for myself that I was unlovable. The pity-party needed to stop. I just didn't know how. Some of my f
